Volvulus Misdiagnosed
A volvulus is a critical medical emergency where a loop of the intestine twists around itself, cutting off blood flow and causing rapid bowel strangulation. Medical malpractice occurs when emergency rooms misdiagnose classic symptoms—such as severe abdominal pain, distension, and persistent vomiting—as ordinary constipation or gastroenteritis without ordering urgent imaging.
